Hello<br>
<br>
I have 2 problems that have developed with the guages in my 1850 HL.<br>
<br>
1) Temp guage reads zero. The connection to sensor by the thermostat seems pretty good. What are the most common causes and fixes please. <br>
<br>
2) The choke light is not coming on when I use the choke. The choke is still opperating but there is not light to indicate it is in use. Ironically just prior to this, for a few days the light was coming on with the choke fully depresssed. Again, does anyone have any suggestions about this one?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>

1, could be wire of gauge at the dash end, or could be sender unit. More than likely the sender unit.<br>
<br>
2, Probably the switch that is behind the choke knob, probably just needs a clean with a spray of WD40, unless the wires have come off.

the fuel guage work?<br>
They both have the same feed from the voltage stabilser.<br>
See if the wire on the sender makes the guage go when just shorted to earth. Then its the sender...(unlikley as Ive never known one fail).<br>
Suspect dirty connections on the guage itself.<br>
choke switch can fail or the bulb go in the light cluster.<br>
Meter should tell you.<br>
